Well, it appears the decision's been narrowed down to the next UConn President will be a "
man".
"Lamont met with two finalists the weekend of Jan. 12, just days after his inauguration, according to his staff. With the passage of two weeks without trustees voting on a choice, it’s become clear that Lamont wanted further vetting of (the)
man the trustees appear ready to hire."

And, neither unusually nor unexpectedly,
current UConn Provost Craig Kennedy resigned in advance of the man ushering in his own candidate as Provost. Until the man and UConn hire a new Provost, SBA Dean John Elliott will step in as Interim Provost.
“
This [change] will allow the next president to select a provost based on their own academic priorities, vision for the institution, and their specific preferences regarding the individual who fills this role,” Kennedy wrote.
"
Kennedy came to the University for the position starting in April 2018. He will serve as provost until March 1, at which time Elliott will become interim provost."
